Green Tech to Save Some Green: A New Monthly Column

Green Tech to Save Some Green | 40Tech

Short of spending $18 billion of your hard earned cash on speculative research, there are things that each us can do to reduce our impact on the environment.  Yes, you can walk to work and stop using toilet paper, and those are certainly admirable and possibly uncomfortable efforts if combined, but let's be practical: most of us just aren't going to do that. So we wanted to take today to announce that 40tech will be starting a monthly column on environmental technology. We’re calling it Green Tech to Save Some Green. But wait! Didn’t we just say something about $18 BILLION on speculative research? Ohhh yes! Read on!

Our Favorite Finds, Coming Soon [Site News]

finding other content

Here at 40Tech, we don't have an exclusive on good content.  We spend time checking out many other sites on the Internet, and find all sorts of great stuff.  Some of that content might be from sites that you visit, but much of the content may be new to you.  Starting Monday, we'll be sharing our finds with you.  Our posts will be short, calling attention to the content on the original site.  If a topic interests you, we hope that you'll then go check it out in full detail at its source.

We have been publishing about three posts a week.  We're going to try to double that, so that we have our usual three "long form" posts each week, and three posts highlighting great finds from around the Internet.

Josh Farkas Joins 40Tech

josh1 I'm pleased to announce that Josh Farkas has joined 40Tech as a writer.  His debut post will be going live later today.  Actually, his post today will be his second post for 40Tech, as Josh was the winner of our first writer's contest.  The winner of that contest won a lifetime subscription to GTDagenda, and also received an invitation to become a regular writer on 40Tech.  We're pleased that Josh accepted our invitation.  To see his winning entry, check out Josh's take on GTDagenda.

Josh works as an attorney in the energy sector, and is passionate about the potential that technology and alternative energy hold for the future.  Keep your eye out for his post later this evening, which contemplates how lo-tech devices are sometimes a better choice than their high-tech counterparts.  In the meantime, you can check out his profile here at 40Tech.

Welcome aboard, Josh!


Coming Soon – 40Tech Gear Picks

We haven’t done much in the way of gear and gadget reviews here at 40Tech.  That’s about to change.  In the near future, we’ll be debuting 40Tech Picks, where we’ll spotlight gadgets that we REALLY like.  At the present time, we don’t receive review units, so this will be gear that we use on a regular basis.  We’re going to try to make these spotlights and reviews easily digestible, and from the perspective of "real users" – people who will use the gear like you and we would use it.

Pretty soon, you’ll also notice a "40Tech Picks" section on the navigation menu, above.  Clicking on that will take you to a page where all of our picks are listed.  We’re going to start by populating it with the handful of gear reviews that we’ve already done.  Future picks will appear on the front page of the site, but also in that section.
